CATHFY-1 was pretty much tied up with The f)~lahorna Daily (editor) dur-

ing the spring . Since I was busy working there in the afternoons, I didn't have

much opportunity to get out and t1o much . But people were slow getting into the

office because the weather was so nice outside. . . ()nc of the main fads was when

everyone started wearing bcrmuda shorts . After being inside all winter, people's

interests turned to the out-of-doors . There was a lot of sunbathing, and the sorority

roofs wcrc usually covered with sunbathing women . . . I remember a few changes

that were taking place on campus then, such as barricades being put lit front ofthe library (closing off Brooks Street) . . . The campus looks much better than

it did when I was there, although maybe it appears to nae that way because I've

been away for awhile .

There was less studying during the spring, and there was quite a lotof small talk on the campus greens . . . The freshmen enjoyed all the activities theyparticipated in . They felt a new independence since it was their first time awayfrom home . I know I did. Students really enjoyed the beautiful landscape oncampus-sitting on the grass and talking, etc., especially around the old buildings .

Bubble Trouble(Continued from Page 14)

After obtaining his M.S . in petroleumrefinery engineering, Dr. Eldib went onto the University of Oklahoma . In 1955,he was awarded his Ph.D . degree in chern-ical engineering . For the next six years,Dr . Eldib worked for Esso Research andEngineering Company.At Esso, 1)r . Eldib discovered that air

bubbled through petroleum products couldremove metal impurities . In 1960, at aconference of scientists, he delivered a talkon the uses of foaming techniques to purifypetroleum. After the speech, engineersfrom the U. S. Public Health Service

often speak of her. They all know abouther . I have no need to speak of her becausethey know before ever I open my mouth . . .And also there are the students such as

Elsa Porter, who is now professor of voiceat Canyon, Texas, near Amarillo, and Har-old Thompson, who is in Arkansas at Hen-drix College, and there are many who areteaching and having great success. HaroldThompson is one of the judges for the Met-ropolitan Opera auditions. I could go on

The Musical Lighter

brought up the problem of foaming atsewage treatment plants ."A bell immediately rang in my mind,"

Dr . Eldib said . "I wondered if perhaps thefoaming technique might be a solution totheir problem."

Laboratory experiments soon demon-strated that foaming was indeed a possi-ble solution . Since then, Dr . Eldib has con-centrated his efforts on water pollutionproblems .

In August 1962, Dr . Eldib founded hisown research and engineering company .In his laboratory, he daily seeks new an-swers to challenging problems in the worldof chemistry . His next frontier : new meth-ods of removing salt from seawater tomake it drinkable.

ad infinitum to tell you the students fromthis campus who are doing splendid workaround the state and well out of the state,in many other states and other countries.There is this boy John Turnbull, the organ-ist, who is in Holland now on a Fulbrightand having enormous success . . .

Well, of Course, I was here for 10 years,so you can imagine that when I hear ofthese things, I swell with pride-and Ireally mean that . It is a great pleasure al-ways to me to hear of the success of thestudents of the University of Oklahoma.
